Choi Hung, means rainbow and they mean it! A rainbow state!

Looked very beachy, something different in the concrete jungle! This housing looks like a happy place at least on the outside, unlike the rest of the scifi/end of of the world kind of housing buildings I have visited! 😜

Loved the colors! 🌈🏀

If you ever get the chance to visit Hong Kong one of the must go to places is Choi Hung Estate.
Built in 1964, this amazing housing estate was apparently designed in the day to lift its low income resident’s spirits. Now it has become one of the most popular Instagram sights in Hong Kong🇭🇰 you can’t help but smile in awe at these quirky buildings and basketball courts.
To get there is pretty easy, just catch the MTR to Choi Hung station on the Kwun Tong line, then take exits C3 or C4. Pop it in google map and it’s 1min away, the basketball court is above the car park structure so just walk up a couple of levels and there you have it. The magical court awaits 🏀 wearing @seedheritage .

What’s the best thing to do when it rains? Sleep 😴 What’s the second best thing to do when it rains? ☔️ For me, it’s work on the blog! ✨ While it continues to pour all week, I’m busy editing photos and video to share more on our trip to Shanghai, the Yellow Mountains, and Hong Kong! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll also include a BTS look at one of the more #instagramfamous city landmarks in Hong Kong so you can see why this place truly lives up to its name (Choi Hung = Rainbow). As one of Hong Kong’s oldest and most famous public housing communities, its thought that the government painted the buildings in 8 different shades of colors to brighten the spirits of residents of Choi Hung Estate. 🌈

Making my way elsewhere, I suddenly recognised the shape and colours of the Choi Hung Estate. All I knew of this place was it’s insta famous backdrop and basketball courts, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it was so much more.

Choi Hung was one of the first housing estates to be built in Hong Kong 55 years ago, to help solve the ongoing housing crisis within the city. Roughly 43,000 people reside within its 11 residential buildings. There are also 3 primary schools, 2 secondary schools and 2 churches. There is a bank, bus terminal, 2 supermarkets, restaurants, salons, bakeries (Tokyo Bakery does really good pandan cake🍰) As well as a pet store and post office, the list goes on. It even has its own MTR station of the same name.

Here, they have built a bustling and colourful community despite the city’s worsening economic inequalities. It’s a shame this doesn’t quite translate into the many picturesque snapshots of its once communal playground... But it is refreshing to find that it’s renowned rainbow facade is not all this place stands for after all 🌈

• DAY 210 • feeling sorry for myself today because I’m suffering with the beginnings of a cold at the worst time because my parents arrive tomorrow. That being said I am unbelievably excited to see them and show them around the place I’ve been calling home for the past 7 months 🥰 #day210#placementyear#hongkong#choihungestate
